election day he never votes until he is
made aware that / have putin my ballot
then he hands in the opposite ticket
and goes off into crowd of blacks and
whites, chuckling: 'Izdone kill Massa
Beck's vote dat time, suah. =
There are two points which we wish
to call the particular attention of the
politicians to; one is, that this ssold
darkey Senator Beck derisively
calls him-is the equal of a United States
Senator in fair election, and his vote
is worth just as much; the other is that
the cold darkeY,o and the majority OF
his black brothers have instinct enough
we would not dare to credit it to human
reason, in an cold darkeyn--to know
that they are voting just right when
they vote the opposite ticket to the one
voted by those who once held them in
slavery. ItWould be very well indeed,
too, for Republicans to remember, that,
as a rule, that every black mans vote
kills a Democrats, and to ask. them
selves if they fully reward their black
brothers for their fealty to the Repub-
lican party?

the fair

Senator Beck, of Kentucky was dined
and wined in our city last Tuesday. It
is thought that the Senator has the Vice
Presidential bee buzzing in his bonnet;
and, the Democrats might go farther
and fare worse. We have no particu-
lar interest in in the aspirations of
the Senator, although we are native
Kentuckian, and have a certain kind
of interest in Kentucky in general
His presence in our city recalls the fol-
lowing story which is credited to him.
Speaking one day recentlyhe said:
MY vote don't count for much down
in Kentucky, since 1.-THE day Negro suf-
frage became an assured fact. There's
an old darkey down there who offsets
my vote every time. He was once g
slave in my family, but he can never be
won over to the side Of Democracy On

One of the big attractions which will
shortly draw large and admiring throngs
to our city is the Minnesota state fair
which begins on Tuesday, September
9th and continues until the 18th. Hith-
erto the fair has been one of the fea-
lures to which the people looked for
ward with great expectations and
backward with pardonable pride, and
from the present indications, the coming
fair is to excel all former ones in point
of special attractions. The liberal
premium list which is offered has at
tracted the very best agricultural ex-
hibits, and there is certainty that the
gathering of thoroughbred cattle and
stock will be the largest and finest ever
seen in the Northwest. The races will
be one of the most attractive features to
lovers of such sport and in addition to
the large list which has already been
published the management has added a
special running race for Minnesota, st.
Paul and Minneapolis days for a $500
cup each day. For the lovers of music
there will be grand state band tourna-
ment Wednesday the 18th, competition
open to all bands outside the Twin
Cities. With fair weather we predict
that larger crowds will be gathered on
the beautiful grounds of the association
than ever before. There is always very
much to be learned by attending on
such occasions to say nothing about the
great pleasure to be derived by viewing
the various curious, useful and bea1ti-
full exhibits. A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to every body to come to the
fair.
People who go to the Minnesota State
Fair this year will find plenty ofamuse-
ments outside of those on the fair
grounds. The Grand opera houses at
ST. Paul and Minneapolis are open for
the season and will present unusually
fine lists of attraction during fair week.
The Battle of Atlanta Panorama al
Minneapolis and the Battle of Gettys-
burg Cyclorama at st. Paul will both be
accessible every night. The great Elk
position will be open at that time and
there will be a series of autumn carni:
val concerts in the St. Paul parks, be
sides host of other evening attractions
in both cities. The streets of st. Pau
and Minneapolis will be Illuminated in
the same gorgeous manner that gave
these cities worldwide reputation
during the State Fair and Ice Carniya
last year. In addition to the miles O
waving lines of light along the streets
the brilliantly Illuminated arches anc
pyramids, there will be a magnificent
display of fireworks, and the twin cities
will be the scenes of two grand after
harvest carniyals every evening during
the fair.

Next Wednesday the great hive of in
dustry which was putin operation in our
sister city will again open it's doors to
the teeming thousands who are waiting
with eager expectancy for the great
event. The exposition was visited by
nearly four hundred thousand people
last year, when it was in its infancy but,
profting by the experience of last year,
the attractions will surpass those of last
year very much. Every foot of space
is taken and the art gallery is filed with
art treasures from master hands. The
special days. which proved to be SO
enjoyable last year will be great fea-
ture this year and among them the
management has set apart the twenty.
second of September as '.Colored Peo-
pies Day." It must not be understood
that there is any prejudice or ostacism
at all in this matter as colored people
as well as any class Of people are vel
come and invited to be present any and
every day, but on this day the program
will be furnished by talent selected
from among the colored Peep e, and if
possible, one of our representative men
with national reputation will be Sc
cured to deliver an address. We should
feel an interest in everything that tends
towards the upbuilding and material
improvement of the great Northwest,
therefore since the management has
seen fit to devote day to us, let us
show our appreciation by a liberal at
tendance on that day. The progra N OF
the day will be under the control of a
local committee composed of gentlemen
from st. Paul and Minneapolis who will
endeayor to make the day credit to
the people they represent.

We present to our psgsrons to-day a
fair picture the Pilgrim Baptist church
situated on Cedar street near Thir-
teentll, which is just completed and will
be dedicated tomorrow with appro-
pirate ceremonies. This beautiful edi-
fee is one of the finest and most grace
full Illustrations of the early Gothic style
that there is in the city. The tower
and spire are particularly fine. The
main entrance in the tower is through
handsome porch, above which is a nice
" moulded arch, supported by pillars
with carved capitals and surmounted by
an ornamental balcony. The tower is.
in three stages, including a belfry for a
peal Of bells, and each angle of the
tower butresses terminates in an octa-
gonal pinnacle. The spire rises to a.
height of 120 feet. All the external an
giles are strenthened by buttresses, pro-
ducing a very pleasing effect, and an
ornamented tracery window gives char
acter to the front. The church is in the
form Of Latin cross, with top arm
apsidal in form, and will seat about 500
persons.
The roof is of open wood work, giving
to the nave a lofty and imposing effect
The finishing is all in natural wood, and
the general tone is light Provision is
made on the main floor for pastors
study, dressing rooms and a committee
room, while the basement contains the
Sunday school rooms, a kitchen, ladies'
parlor, etc. The architect has provided
five exits, and all the doors open OUT

of egress in case of fire.
It has been built at cost of over
$12, 0O0, and besi DIES being the hand
soonest sacred structure in the North

monument to the energy and enterprise

The First Lightning Rod.

II we are TO believe al Austrian paper,
the first lightning rod was not constructed
by Franklin, but by monk Of Seuften-
berg, in Bohemia, named Prohop Diwisch,
who installed an apparatus the 18th Of
June, 1854, in the garden of the curate Of
Prenditz tMoravia). The apparatus was
composed Of pole suEmounted by All iron
rod supporting twelve curved up branches,
and terminating in as many metslliC
boxes filled with iron ore and closed by q
boxwood cover, traversed by twenty seven
sharp iron points, which plunged at their
base in the ore. All the system was
united TO the earth by large chain. The
enemies Of Diwisch, jealous Of his success
at the court Of Vienna, excited the peas
ants Of the locality against him, and
under the pretext that his lightning rod
was the cause Of the great drought, they
made him take down the lightning rod
which he had utilized for six years. What
is most curious is the form Of this first
lightning rod, which was Of multiple
